Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 365/204,545/187
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 365,545
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 365,545 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 204,187 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 204,187 is 2244 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 365,545
5 | 365, 545 |
73, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 365
List of positive integer factors of 365 that divides 365 without a remainder.
1,5,73,365
Factors of 545
List of positive integer factors of 545 that divides 545 without a remainder.
1,5,109,545
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 365,545 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 365,545 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 204,187
17 | 204, 187 |
12, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 12 x 11 = 2244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 365/204,545/187 is 5/2244
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 204,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(204,187) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(204,187) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(204,187) = ( 204 × 187 ) / 17
LCM(204,187) = 38148 / 17
LCM(204,187) = 2244
